Hey, be careful here! Some day you, too, will be an "older guy!"

Good luck with the car!

I bought mine from a private party and for $100 the Park Place ran the paperwork thru them - it made the buyer feel safer and quite frankly was an easy way to handle the title and taxes....plus they had financing options even though I did not use them....

might be worth asking your local dealer (or other higher end car lot)

Cute! The "old guy" is probably just buying a GT2 or GT super car after you buy his car. Old guy? I've got your number "kid" hehehe.

No problem just yanking you around.

Some car insurance companies also do car loans. USAA is one of them.

UPDATE!!! APPROVED!!!!! Step 1 in getting this little 911 in my hands is complete....

THANK YOU AGAIN for the penfed suggestion!!!!!!!!!!!

Whats funny/sacry about this was they intially turned me down becuase I put net pay instead of gross pay...but I forwarded them paystubs and was approved in less than 24hrs... Im soo happy!!!!!!!!

I ran a carfax and some other (top secret) checks on car and owner and the car is perfect no accidents, incidents ect!!!!!

Probably the #1 reason you see cars get relisted on eBay after they are sold. Bidders check on financing after they win bid. (Anecdotal info based on discussions with sellers on eBay)

Good luck when you get audited..

Awesome! Glad Penfed came through.

***One note of information for future reference. I own a business, and as such I had to provide them with 2 years of tax returns and a YTD P&L for the company. Still got 3.99% so was worth the hassle.
